Complaint After Complaint

Who types in this shitty AOL shorthand? On occasion I have heard grown adults claim that it’s “easier” to type “u r” than “you are.” How is that easier? In order for it to be easier you would have to develop the habit of unnecessary abbreviation at some point in your life. Either that, or you’d have to be in one hell of a hurry, or have a limited amount of space – neither of which would be applicable in an instant message situation. These sorts of abbreviations “lame AOL jargon” as i tend to refer to them, are maybe acceptable if you’re under the age of 13, but if I get one more myspace message from a 28 year old man that says “UR SO HOT! HOLLA AT UR BOI!” I am going to scream. After a certain point it’s like reading a foreign language invented by an idiot.

Pants that are pants but almost a skirt? These are not flattering on any body type and do not look good in any situation. The wide leg makes them impractical for working out which might be the only situation in which pants like these might be presentable. Gaucho pants are solid proof that if you put it in a magazine, some sorority girl will try it on for size – with flip flops, with pointy-toed heels, and with ballet flats. I thought it would be over by now, but it’s not. A brisk walk through any shopping mall or college campus will have you seeing these horrific pants billowing in the breeze. ladies, tell me, when’s it gonna end?
